Always, Patsy Cline
by Fredericksburg Theater Company (FTC)
Jun. 14 - Jun. 15 (2021)
Always…Patsy Cline is more than a tribute to the legendary country singer who died tragically at age 30 in a plane crash in 1963. The show is based on a true story about Cline's friendship with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger, who befriended the star in a Texas honky-tonk in 1961, and continued a correspondence with Cline until her death. The musical play includes many of Patsy' unforgettable hits such as “Crazy,” “I Fall to Pieces”, “Sweet Dreams” and “Walking After Midnight.”
Auditions for FTC’s summer finale Always… Patsy Cline, will be held Monday and Tuesday, June 14 & 15, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. at the Steve W. Shepherd Theater, located at 1668 Highway 87 South in Fredericksburg.
